Core Viewpoint - Inertial Labs, a subsidiary of VIAVI Solutions, has launched a Visual-Aided Inertial Navigation System (VINS) that allows aircraft to maintain accurate flight paths in environments where GPS/GNSS signals are unreliable [1][2]. Group 1: Product Features and Capabilities - VINS enables Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) to perform long-range missions in GNSS-challenged environments, utilizing advanced 3D vision-based positioning software from Maxar® Raptor™ [2][3]. - The system can maintain horizontal positioning within 35 meters, vertical positioning within 5 meters, and velocity within 0.9 m/s in GNSS-denied environments. When GNSS is enabled, it achieves a horizontal position accuracy of 1 meter and a vertical position accuracy of less than 2 meters [4]. - VINS is designed for low-altitude operations and includes a modular system with processing and sensor modules, GNSS or CRPA antennas, and additional sensors for both fixed-wing and multi-rotor UAVs [5]. Group 2: Market Context and Demand - The launch of VINS coincides with a reported increase in GPS signal jamming and spoofing incidents, with up to 700 occurrences globally each day, particularly affecting commercial and military operations [2]. - The Lithuanian airspace alone recorded over 800 cases of GPS interference in the last three months of 2024, highlighting the growing need for reliable navigation systems in contested environments [2]. Group 3: Industry Events and Demonstrations - VINS and the second-generation RSR Transcoder will be showcased at the 2025 Joint Navigation Conference from June 2-5, where VIAVI will also present on various topics related to assured Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) in GPS-denied environments [6][7][9].
